First for Dukat did nothing wrong

Nothing wrong, until...

Dead franchise.

that moment in the first jem' hadar ep when he just walks out of the containment field
holy shit so good

>it's real
What the fuck

...

Kirk is literally /ourguy/™ when we say he may be posting in these threads it's actually a possibility.

>implying it's not his assistant

Kirk is crazy enough that I wouldn't put past him to browse Sup Forums and be a weeaboo.

I honestly doubt he does. Shatner seems to be the type of person that (understandably) only likes to talk about himself or Kirk. Considering, that there is almost noone talking about TOS, I doubt he comes to these threads, or he's just a massive shitposter and my characterization is wrong.

I guarantee he's in Bane threads.

He's a big kirk

Well, that was the writers' fault, not his. The Pah Wraiths might as well be a standin for the writers themselves, who wanted Dukat to be hated even though Marc played him so well that the audience loved him. Literally just a way to say "It's not the Dukat you like anymore, OK? Be happy when he inevitably dies."

It's pretty believable that Shat's assistant would be some weeaboo nerd, like who else would even have that job at this point? His staff are obviously Trek fans, and that goes hand in hand with this sort of thing. He's a pretty weird dude himself though, so it's hard to say whether the tweets are more likely him or his staff though. I guess it's just more expected that some 22 year old intern would be conversant in idol anime than an 86 year old actor though.

So does he.

How can this be real?
How can we summon him?

>implying hes not here already

Makifags on suicide watch

He started the thread.

Why was DS9 the only one to have the balls to give finality to characters? I imagine people today would be losing their shit how Odo didn't stay with Kira for FEELGOOD.

need to know his stance on eva best girl

if it is not asuka he his disowned forever

>Why was DS9 the only one to have the balls to give finality to characters?
Tell that to Sisko

he's a phony
twitter.com/WilliamShatner/status/943321625960767488

depends. finality in what sense? that their story was resolved? there's actually very little of that if you look at sisko, odo, even miles. but in a sense it didn't go for textbook endings and was bittersweet in many ways? sure.

>dat feel when no one notices your character arc

>William Shatner is mental crash
How dare you imply /ourguy/ would ever sink so low as to be a tripfag

Go ask him yourself

Hi Bill

Watching DS9. Why does the station crew drink at Quark's if they all have access to replicators and can get their booze free from them?

doesn't the replicators only produce synthenol, not real alkohol?

He offers non-replicated food and actual alcohol, some people may be willing to pay for such things.
The main thing I would guess would be gambling and holosuites.

The same reason people still go to bars and buy more expensive beer when it's a lot cheaper to drink at home alone. Socializing and for the atmosphere.

everyone on ds9 is canonically an idiot.

I think the federation basically has a standing contract with Quark's. Federation personnel don't get paid a salary, right? So instead Starfleet probably picks up the tab via a contract for a fixed share of holosuite time, drinks at the bar, etc. The crew have to schedule their holosuite time because they only get a fixed number of hours per week covered by starfleet.
Remember, Quark is supposed to pay some kind of rent for his space on the station. It's not like Starfleet needs money for anything, so they probably just use a system of accounting to make the credits and debits against their fiduciary accounts come out near zero in a given period. The money that the non-Federation shopkeepers are supposed to pay them gets spend on buying things from those same economies, it all works out in the end.

When Jadzia plays Tongo with the Ferengi, she must be using her own latinum though. Since she always wins, it's not like she'll run out.

Lads, I watched The Voyage Home last night. What a great movie. Out of all the TOS movies so far this has been my favourite. It's like they found the silliest thing to make a movie about, but took such good care of all the details to make it work.

You never see Starfleet officers paying for anything at Quark's bar. Even holosuites, they just have to reserve ahead of time. When they want to keep Vic's running 26 hours a day, they just "make it so." I really think Starfleet has a discretionary budget that they use for dealing with capitalist societies like the Ferengi.

I guess that's exactly it. Today you can't get a beer for free in your house, but you can get if at your corner store for a fraction of what it'd cost at the bar and somehow bars are still popular.

I need more Trek pepes! Please help me out

Starfleet gives its officers a latinum stipend for operating outside of Federation space. However, latinum is useless to Starfleet officers, so they get rid of it as soon as they can. The best way to get rid of it is going to Quark's.

Ah, "The One with the Whales." It's supposed to be the normie TOS movie, but who cares. Without it, the "even numbers" rule for Star Trek movies wouldn't hold up.
Dating itself by taking place in a "contemporary" setting doesn't seem like a blunder, so many decades later, since everything about TOS seems incredibly dated anyway. Their version of sci-fi is somehow even better when it is put in the context of its times.

...

...

The federation is fully automated space communism, obviously they would use a single-payer system, rather than bothering with paydays. It might even be as simple as "they let Quark use station facilities, and he lets them use his holosuites for a fairly negotiated share of the time."

well the credits still somehow exist
memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Federation_credit
but I don't think there was ever any details
There was also a mention of transporter credits, for example when Sisko talks about being a cadet and using his monthly limit to go for family dinners IIRC.
So I guess there is some sort of "payment" "allowance" or whatever, you can't just go and spam the replicator/transporters as much as you'd like to

>ywn eat a cellular peptide cake

...

yeah, I'm mad odo's story resolved the way it did. I guess it made sense, though.

Quit talking out of your asses and just watch the fucking show

>WITH EXTRA FROSTING

u would. all of them.

I think that just means that there is a system for distributing access to limited resources, which is not money. The difference between money and "credits" is that they are not fungible, it's not immediately clear how many hours of holosuite time are "equivalent" to one longrange transport. Sometimes episodes will refer to the credits as if they are the same thing as money, because lazy 20th century writers can't actually imagine a universe without money.

>ywn grab a round of synth ales with the lads and settle around Morn's bar-stool for a night of stories from his days as a smuggler.

Tarantino directing Trekkino to wash the bitter ashy taste of JJ’s cincematic soylent out of our eyes you pleb

I wonder what the women of Morn's species look like.

"No refunds" is one of Quark's catchphrases, and also they were in a group with Klingons who probably do have money.

What was the deal with Morn? Was it impossible for the actor to actually speak through his makeup, or did they just always intend for it to be a running joke that chatty Morn never speaks on camera?

he did no wrong except kill daughter

>A group of klingons, one of them being worf and the other being general martok which in this scene was taking away their food for the prewedding ceremony
Watch the show before you talk about things you don't understand

DS9 gets a remake, but it's formatted like a reality series.

Probably a running joke from the start. That said, wasn't there some trivia or other about how you can see (but not hear since it was a crowd shot) Morn talk in The Emissary?

Isn't morn supposed to be fucked up by all of the latinum he has in his stomach

I have watched every episode of DS9 within the past 6 months. Learn to read before you talk about things you don't understand.
I didn't say a group OF klingons; I know it's a stretch to include worf, but it's his wedding so he's probably not paying anyway, and Martok probably does use money because he's always talking about acquiring bloodwine.

Oh no, they've found out!

Is it actually confirmed to be him? What if he got hacked and no one bothered to tell him?

Isn't twitter supposed to handle that for verified accounts?

...

He's also fucked by all the women on the station apparently.

...

are you a jerk, Bill?
desu, go look at his twitter for a while and you'll quickly see the man loves shitposting and arguing. Also, someone once posted a tweet from Marina saying it was definitely him in charge of his account. I know there's a good chance sometimes his assistant is the one referencing Sup Forums and so, but I'll never stop believing it's Bill.

>Martok probably does use money because he's always talking about acquiring bloodwine.
except for the fact THAT HE'S THE ONE TAKING AWAY THE FOOD and quark say's no refunds to Bashir and O'brien not to Martok. if they were being catered to then they most likely wouldn't care.

...

It's quite funny seeing all the star wars babies realise how trash the franchise is.

You'd think the prequels would be enough. But they could only yell 'not canon' for so long.

...

I know there's one episode where you can hear him laughing

...

N

MORN

Except Jadzia

resistance is indeed quite....futile

...

...

It's been a long REEEEE

>implying
you know Jadzia got MORN'D. Bashir was probably in the next room crying and hugging his teddy bear.

...

oh yeah, there's this one too

Anyone got a Borg spurdo?

Aaaand, those are all the Trek pepes I have

...

Quark's highpoint

Oh wait

>Captain, I am no longer able to perform my duties as a Starfleet officer.

As much as I love this imagery, unfortunately it's mentioned that he rejected her.
But you know he had to listen while she got QAPLAED

...

I know there is a Ezri pepe still and Janeway with Tuvix in the background one. Some guy made stickers for Telegram with those + everything posted here.
good enough then as long as Bashir got cucked
it's always suprising how much pussy Worf got. He was pretty autistic.

oh fuck, that's a good one.

DABO!!!!

>Betcha won't release a biological weapon on my planet, Sisko. Do it, you won't.

poor guy

>tfw Quark is actually not all that greedy or cynical

Bashir had to give her and Worf hormone stimulants so they could have their child.
He pretty much had to prep the bull.
I hope you're reading this Bashirfag

Picard plz go.
